 Unhappy with the shipping February 11, 2010
N. Gama
I wasn`t happy with this purchase because of the shipping. I bought two more books on Christmas time what should be a gift all together. But the books came in different days what made me lost the opportunity to send it to the person who was going to win as a gift. I was really frustrated because of that.

I purchased a NEW grammar book as a reference book for my job. I received it on time and it was in excellent condition.
Not a comprehensive grammar reference September 14, 2009

I bought this hoping for a grammar reference that was as comprehensive as The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. I was very disappointed. It is 75 pages of rules (many erroneous based on the other reviews, which I wish I'd read prior to purchasing) followed by 78 pages of quizzes and answers. There is no index. The lack of an index makes it particularly ineffective as a reference.
great terriffic sensational!!!!!!!!!!! August 9, 2009
Emily F. Banks (Queens NY USA)
This is not a personally I used it, but the tutors whom I gave them to are over the moon.
a retired school teacher (math&english) gave this book a standing ovation, as the others shouted "bravo". In a phrase "they love it"
Excellent for 8th grade through High School July 8, 2009

Our family and friends actually own and use this book, referring to it often as well as taking the extremely helpful quizzes. Finding this a well organized, concise but complete with examples of grammatical rules and errors, I couldn't recommend a more profitable study guide and text. One doesn't need to know the names of every possible English language clause, what one needs to understand and learn are the *correct applications* for punctuation including hyphens, em dashes, en dashes and parentheses, subject verb agreement, confusing words and homonyms,capitalization, effective writing, who vs. whom and more. This is the "Go to" source AND text on the top of my desk. Knowing the names of the grammar form does not help me apply the rule. For a thorough, practical and concise grammar resource, you can't find a replacement these days.
